The study was conducted on the embryo/foeti of goat from 0-150 days of gestation, divided into group I (0-30 days), group II (31-60 days), group III (61-90 days), group IV (91-120 days) and group V (121-150 days of gestation).

Congenital megalourethra is a rare mesenchymal anomaly of the male urethra, characterised by severe dilatation of the penile urethra due to congenital absence of the corpus spongiosum and/or corpus cavernosum. Postnatal complications include voiding and erectile dysfunction as well as renal insufficiency and pulmonary hypoplasia. We present a unique case of congenital megalourethra diagnosed pr...

In most cases, bacteria migrate from the urethra or bladder through the prostatic ducts, with intraprostatic reflux of urine (figure 1). As a result, there may be concomitant infection in the bladder or epididymis. Uropathogenic bacterial isolates that cause prostatitis may have a higher accumul...

We report a case of amelanotic malignant melanoma of the female urethra. The clinical course was unusually long and complicated by asynchronous resectable metastases to the lung and the brain. The patient died of generalized metastasis in spite of successful resection of the metastatic lesions and post-operative chemotherapy, two years and five months after the first presentation.
